I tried to take a nap but failed, instead I just lied there for over an hour -_-. Oh well. I'll just learn to deal with it.

Eep. I'm sorry to hear your nap failed Poet.
I get the same way a lot of the times.

Well it's pretty much without a doubt because of my medicine. I just started back on it today. Adderall.

Oh, I see. Sucky Medication!!

Yeah, sucky medication Dx. Well it's just doing its job keeping me awake (it's a stimulant for ADD) and alert, but it sucks when I can't take a nap and I'm tired -_-.

Ah, I see. So it's doing it's job but overdrive when you are tired. >< Sucky.

Yuppers lol. By the nighttime it generally wears off but... not yet lol. I guess that just means go to bed earlier but... that's a lot harder to negotiate than it sounds.

That's too bad, Poet. I know how that goes. I'm on... hn... I can't remember what it's called anymore, but it's an ADD med too. When I first started taking it I had the opposite problem as you... It made me so incredibly drowsy.

Yeah, well I always feel a little fatigued... but I actually am more alert. Strange contradictions, lol.

I know exactly what you mean. It's amazing stuff... does your head just feel so much quieter now? Mine does when I actually take the meds.

Yeah, that's pretty much how it is for me, too.

I made an analogy in the past that normally, my brain just feels like a bunch of wires with frayed edges and mismatched pieces... but then when I'm on it it's more like well-bundled wires and everything's connected the way it should be, lol.

That's great! I usually think of it as having too many tvs on at once in my head... and then when I'm on it it's like only two are on, which is much easier to deal with... much less noise.

Yup haha.

Still it doesn't mean I automatically get my homework done XD. But there are fewer conditions that doing it depends on...

Oh no... I don't get everything done either, it's not a super instant fix, but it sure does help. I haven't taken my meds since like early June, though. They're just too expensive and I don't have health insurance. >.<;;

Well it makes a difference to feel different lol.

Eep Dx. I think my parents' insurance covers some of it or something. To be honest I'm not entirely sure how it works.

Yeah... I have no job and no insurance, which means that I really can't afford them no matter how much I like them *sigh* Oh well.

*hugs* I'm sorry to hear that Dx.
I still am dependent on my parents. I'm eighteen, but I don't have a job yet. I'm just in school. My parents work as middle school social workers.

Yeah :(.

I'll be ok. I survived for 21 years without the meds... I can survive until I can afford them again.

*hugs* Okay ^^;;.

I'm eighteen, I've been on and off varying medications since I was nine...

Yeah... I didn't find out that I was ADD until my senior year of college... Imagine how much quicker I would've finished projects and stuff in high school and college if I had only known and was on meds! Plus, I would have had an excuse for having "blond moments"... one of my friends in high school used to say that my natural hair color should have been blond.

Nope, I'm a natural brunette but I always have moments of cluelessness or just feeling like I'm missing something... plus i don't believe in that whole blond stereotype o_O.

Lol... I'm a brunette too. But yeah... I'd just space out and totally miss something, and my friend Paul used to call them my blond moments. I don't believe the stereotype either, but it gets the idea across when you use it, if that makes any sense.

Yeah I guess, I just would call it spacing, lol.
